But it remains doubtful that the White House will course correct on another tact, the practice of treating 9/11 like a brand name, a tool for selling ideas, selling a party, selling initiatives â€” even selling people. One blemished icon, or even two, is not is going to end what has proved a winning strategy, certainly good enough for first place with American voters in November.

So why did this soft-spoken professor from the high-ranking Methodist-rooted School of Theology at Claremont, Calif., feel it necessary to risk his hard-earned reputation as a religion scholar to write one of the most incredible -- in all senses of the word -- political books of 2004?

welp, i got my new book today.. its called 'The 9/11 Commission Report: Ommissions and Distortions' written by David Ray Griffin, you can see more about it here:amazon link

his new book is a really quick read much like his other book i highly suggest entitled 'A New Pearl Harbor'.. in only a few hours I've already made it through about 70+ pages.. its really good so far, and i would suggest it to understand the failures of the 'independent commission'..

today on cspan i watched a conference in DC about the voting issues in the last election.. i am wondering if this subject might come to the forefront now, or if perhaps they will follow up the allegations until it leads to arrests.. either way, im glad to see that there are people out there trying to ensure our vote counts, unfortunately none of the republicans invited bothered to show up, i guess when voter fraud tends to go in your favor its not worth fighting against..

since today was the anniversary of pearl harbor there were alot of links.. so here are a few.. including some which show quite well that pearl harbor wasn't as much of a surprise as it was innevidible.. in fact there are so many mentions of how an attack against us is what we needed (and in some cases wanted) that the idea it was a complete surprise isn't exactly the truth:http://www.freep.com/voices/editorials/epearl7e_20041207.htm
